So it makes generative AI essentially unusable, because you don't know if the output is plagiarism or not, so you'd just doubt it always and never use it.
The same tools and methods used to detect plagiarism or copyright violation can be employed to check the generated content and modify it just enough to fall outside the scope of any law banning its use for profit. Inevitably, a platform will emerge to do this. From a technical standpoint it is game over. This is indisputable. By the end of next year many models and software tools will exist whose entire purpose will be to do just this. And the ones deploying those tools at scale will be businesses like the New York Times having realized that the only way to survive this is to float with the unstopable tide. Nothing short of absolute privacy violation will stop web unauthorized web scraping. Tools exist today that automate a browser and easily fool the web servers into thinking its just a person clicking around. It works quite well. It works with authorized accounts. It works in the same way any person would visit a site, highlight some text and copy it. What are they going to do? Require the end user's web cam to be on so they can verify a human is navigating next?
Its game over folks. And this is going to happen with or without our approval and any government that limits the potential use of this is only giving nations that dont a large economic advantage.
It’s usable for internal content, maybe even a small public blog where you sprinkle in some generated pictures instead of stock photos. Nobody will care if your school project contains a Mario holding a Coca Cola.
It’s once you start monetizing and publishing on bigger scale, without appropriating, it gets interesting.
